TIE-BLIP.

To all whomitmoyooncorn Be it known that T, Crrnnnns Rosina, a citizen of the ldepublic oi ll rance, residing at New York; in the county oi New York and State oi New York. have invented certain newand usefulImprovements in Tie- Eilips, OiEWVlilCll the tollowinp; is a specification. p i f This invention relates to a tie slip. :tor movable application to collars, and the priinsry object oi. the saine provide a sinipie device pal-tiorderlyy constructed for easy insertion in theback portion of a collar and e t res: 1* withan adjacent collar button. to effect a Tree slipping; movement of a necktie between the folded portions of a colla'rsto iacilitate the fiiorination and proper disposition or the tie knot, and a subsequent ready detachment and removal without displacement of the applied andknotted tie.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement or parts more fully herein after described and} claimed in preferred form. I

The improved device consists of alongr tudinally curved body 5 having the opposite ends termed with inturned flanges (3 and the center of the lower edge provided. with a concave recess 7; The body 5 will be preterably wider than folds of the collar with which it is used. The longitudinally curved contour oi the body produces an outerconvex side 8 and conversely an inner concave side 9 to respectively con'torrn tothe outer and inner folds l0 and 11 oi the collar. The in nor told of the collar as usual rests against the neckband 3:2, as shown by 2 and The inner concave side 9 of the body 5 conjointly with the end flanges 6 provides a. recessed side when the said flanges bear on the outer surface of the inner collar told 1L and extending centrally and vertically over said. inner recessed side of the body is a com- Specification of Letters Patent.

bined flexible operating strap and grip 12 secured at its upperend 13 to the top portion.

of the recessed side. The remaining portion of the strap and grip 12 is loose and depends below the lower edge of the body and over the recess 7 which serves to expose a considerable length of the strap and grip and also to permit the finger oi"? the hand to be applied well up on the strap and grip. The strap and grip 12 close to its uppersecured end 13 is formed with an openingll, and iromthe lower central portion of this opening a slot 15 extends downwardly for a distance in the strap and grip. The body 5 is of greater width than the width of the folds 10 and 11 of the collar to expose a portion of V the bodybelow the lower edges of the collar folds when the device is applied to render the placement and removal of the device more convenient and positive.

The preferred material used in forming the improved device will becelluloid, which may be readily shaped as specified, and

fold and the backbutton 17 which is caused to engage said hole. The back button head is next pushed through the opening 14: and by means of the combined strap and grip 12 the device as an entirety is pushed upwardly and the button shank caused to enter the slot 15, which, being narrower than the diameter of the back button head, will ternporarily hold the improved device in place.

The tie may then be readily drawn and will easily slip around between the collar folds as it bears on the rear convex side of the body 5, and after proper adjustment the tie knot is formed and properly disposed at the front of the collar. The user then pulls downwardly on the strap and grip 12 until the button shank clears the slot 15 and the button head is opposite the opening 14: when the device maybe readily released by pullingrearwardly thereon and withdrawn from between the collar folds 10 and 1.1 by a turther downward pull thereon without effect ing or displacing the secured tie.

The end flanges 6 of the body 5 closely bear on the inner collar fold 11 when the device is in use and preserve the recess formation at the inner side of the body to coinpensate for the added thickness of the combined strap and grip 12 to avoid binding action relatively tothe collar folds and also to assist in holding the improved device in place when applied.

The improved device will be advantageous in readily applying and tying neckties, and

being simple 1n construction may be cheaply manufactured.

What is claimed is l. A tie slip of'the class specified for removable insertion between the folds of a collar, consisting of a body with a concave recessed side, and a combined operating strap and grip partially secured to and extending over said recessed side and depending below the lower edge thereof, the said strap and grip having a slot for removable engagement of a button therewith.

2. A tie slip of the class specified for removable insertion between the folds of a collar, consisting of a body having a concave recessed side and an operating strap partially secured to said recessed side and I having its greater portion loosely and centrally extending over one side and depending below the lower edge thereof.

3. A tie slip of the class specified for removable insertion between the folds of a collar, consisting of a body having an operating strap secured to and extending over one side and depending below the lower edge thereof, the opposite ends of the body havin inwardly projecting flanges.

1 4. tie slip of the class specified for removable insertion between the folds of a collar, consisting, of a longitudinally curved body with a concave recessed side, and a button-engaging strap partially secured to said recessed side and extending over the latter side and depending below the lower edge of the body for exposure below the lower edges of the collar folds, the greater portion of the slip being held out of contact with the rear side of the inner collar fold when applied to a collar.

5. A tie slip of the class specified for removable insertion between the folds of a col lar, consisting of a longitudinally curved body having inwardly projecting end flanges, and a button engaging strap secured to and extending over one side and depending below the lower edge thereof.

6. A tie slip of the class specified for removable insertion between the folds of a collar, consisting of a longitudinally curved body having inwardly projecting end flanges to provide an inner concave side and an outer convex side, the said flanges cooperating to give the inner side of the body a recessed form, and a button engaging strap partially secured to and extending over said inner concave side of the body and depending below the lower edge of the latter.

7. A tie slip of the class specified for re, movable insertion between the folds of a collar, consisting of a longitudinally curved body having inwardly projecting end flanges to provide an inner concave side and an outer convex side, the said flanges cooperating to give the inner side of the body a recessed form, and an operating strap having a button engaging opening and slot therein and partially secured to and extend ing over said inner concave side of the body and depending below the lower edge of the body.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
